, FIRE POT FOR STOVES AND FURNACES.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, (1) CHARLES A. Boa BINS and (2.) JASPER W. JoLLnY, citizens of the United States,residing at (1) Nevada,. (2) Morral, in the county of (1) 'Wyandot, (2) Marion, and State of (1) Ohio, (2) Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fire-Pots .for Stoves and Furnaces; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to improvements in fire pots for stoves and furnaces.

The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of fire pots for stoves and furnaces and to provide a simple, practical and comparatively inexpensive fire pot designed to be constructed in various sizes for different kinds of stoves and furnaces and equipped with a hollow section capable of adjustment to arrange it at different portions of the fire pot whereby the hollow water receiving section may be placed in the most advantageous position to secure the maximum heating effect.

A further object of the invention is to provide a fire pot of this character equipped with an adjustable water receiving portion or hollow section adapted to be arranged at either the top or bottom of the fire pot to adapt it for overfed. or underfed stoves and furnaces.

lVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction and novel combination of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claims here to appended; it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion, size and minor details of construction, within the scope of the claims, may be resorted to Wltl lr out departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a perspective view of a fire pot constructed in accordance with this invention and shown applied to a portion of a furnace,

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same,

Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the fire pot, the hollow water receiving section being arranged at the bottom thereof,

low water receiving section arranged at the top of the fire pot.

Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in the several figures of the drawings.

In the accompanying drawing in which is illustrated the preferred embodiment of the invention, the fire pot comprises in its construction a solid section 1 and a hollow section 2 adapted to receive water and capable of being arranged either below the solid section 1 as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawing, or upon the solid section 1 as shown in Fig. 4: to adapt the fire pot for overfed and underfed stoves and furnaces. The sections are of the same size and shape and they are tapered and each is provided at the upper edge with an annular groove 3 and at the lower edge with a depending flange 4:, the flange of each section being adapted to fitin the groove or seat'3 at the top of the other section whereby the two sections are reversible or interchangeable. By this construction, the hollow section which receives the water is adapted to be arranged in the most advantageous position for obtaining the maximum heating effect of a fire whether the same be overfed or underfed.

The form of the fire pot sections may be varied and the size will be in accordance 8 with the stove or furnace to which the fire pot is designed to be applied. The hollow section is tapped at the innervside at the upper portion to receive elbows 5 or any other suitable pipe connections and the elbows 5 are connected by suitable pipes 6 with a manifold 7 which is located within the stove or furnace at the interior of the fire pot as shown in Fig. 3 or at a point adjacent to the fire pot as illustrated in Fig. 4-. in order to subject the manifold to the intense heat adjacent to the fire. The manifold is connected with a supply pipe or water flow pipe 8 which is designed to extend to the radiators and the said hollow section is l tapped exteriorly for one or more return pipes. In Fig. l of the drawing the hollow section is shown arranged upon the solid section and by reversing the section, the wa ter section may be arranged either upon the grate or at the upper portion of the fire pot. By this construction and operation the hollow or water section may be arranged at the point where it will be heated to a maximum degree by the fire.

What is claimed is 1. A fire pot composed of two correspondingly shaped sections, one of the sections being solid and the other being hollow'nnd having inlet and outlet apertures, said sections being provided at their upper and lower edges with interlocking means whereby either of the said sections may be arranged upon the other to locate the hollow section at the upper or lower portion of the re pot.

2. A fire pot of the class described comrising two correspondingly shaped reversiblesections, one-of the sections being solid and the other section being hollow and having inlet and outlet apertures for thecirculation of water, said sections beingprovidedr at their upperand lower edges with coacting interlockingmeans'of uniform diameter whereby the upper or loweredge ot'either section may be interlocked with theothersection to arrange the hollowsection at the upper or lowerportion of the fire pot.

3. A fire pot of the class described comprising two correspondingly shaped reversible sections, one of the sectionsbeing solid and the other section'beinghollow and having inlet and outlet apertures for the circulation of water, said sections having meeting upper and ing inlet and lower edges whereby either section may be arranged'upon the other to locate the hollow section at the upper or lower portion at. A fire pot of the class described comprising two correspondingly shaped reversible sections, one of the sections being solid and'the other section being hollow and havoutlet apertures for the circulation of water, said sections having meeting upper and lowereclges wherebyeither section maybe arranged upontheother-to locateithe hollow section atthe upper or lower portion of the fire pot, pipes connected with the hollow section at'the upperportion of the inner side thereof, a 'manifold receiving the saidpipes and located-at the top-of the hollow section so as to be subjected to the intense heat of the fire, and a return pipe connection with the hollow section at the lowerportion of the exterior of the same.

In testimony whereof we affix our signaturesln presence of two witnesses.
